Do you mind to explain a little more? How would I go about this? I have a |
| 12 |
few packages that won't build, and glib is one. Over and over. gtkmm is |
| 13 |
another. There is an upstream gtkmm that is said to solve that issue, but I |
| 14 |
haven't gotten the courage to bump an ebuild to a new version. |

How would one rebuild the toolchain? |

I have tried it as three different users, and have moved .mozilla, used |
| 28 |
firefox2, firefox3, firefox3-bin, epiphany. The same thing happens. Moving |
| 29 |
.mozilla has no effect. |

My system has been riddled with these issues of permissions and (I assume) |
| 32 |
dbus and/or hal issues, since when. The livecd was a mess: took several |
| 33 |
passes even to get a working, booting system. It's getting better. |
